The --edit/-e option for the 'commit' command forces editor, even when a
commit message has been provided already by other means, such as by the -m or
-l options.
This should correct an earlier couple of bad merges (5433856b2558 and
596960a4ad0d, now pruned) that accidentally brought in a change that had
been marked obsolete (244ac996a821).
In d87f1c1d18fa, be4d37a43992, 394118f2cf71, and 7594c2ea371e, new tests were
added that used TESTDIR instead of TESTTMP thereby leading to polluting the
working directory with these temporary files. Now, we use TESTTMP so that they
will be cleaned up properly.
Before this patch, "localrepository.commit()" invokes specified
"editor" to edit commit message manually, and saves it after checking
sub-repositories.
This may lose manually edited commit message, if unexpected exception
is raised while checking (or commiting recursively) sub-repositories.
This patch saves manually edited commit message as soon as possible.
Unknown requirements will now be reported as:
abort: repository requires features unknown to this Mercurial: largefiles!
(see http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MissingRequirement for more information)
Some features of this phrasing:
* avoid double ':' in abort message
* make it more clear who requires and knows what
* don't quote the requirement names - it is not something the user entered or
need the exact spelling of ... and it is "identifiers" that are unambiguous
anyway
* remove double hint by removing "(upgrade Mercurial)" comment
* don't mention upgrading Mercurial without mentioning enabling the feature -
instead, just refer to wiki page for both
* don't just talk about "details", talk about "more information"
If there is an active bookmark while committing, the bookmark name
will be visible inside the commit message helper, below the branch
name.
This should make easier for the user to detect a mistaken commit
parent, while working for example with a bookmark centric workflow
like topic branches.
The active bookmark is checked to be in the working directory, as
pointed by Kevin Bullock, because otherwise committing would not
advance it. In other words, this would not show the active
bookmark name if the user changed the working tree parents with
'hg debugsetparents', for example.
Quite a few tests fail in noisy but meaningless ways when the test suite
is run with generaldelta enabled:
./run-tests.py --extra-config-opt=format.generaldelta=1
This reduces the amount of noise introduced by the debugindex command,
the main source of differences. In my environment, when testing with
generaldelta enabled, this change reduces the number of completely
failing tests from 21 to 8.
Many tests didn't change back from subdirectories at the end of the tests ...
and they don't have to. The missing 'cd ..' could always be added when another
test case is added to the test file.
This change do that tests (99.5%) consistently end up in $TESTDIR where they
started, thus making it simpler to extend them or move them around.
This specific cd .. leaves the base directory of the test ($TESTTMP).
Removing it avoids that test artifacts (e.g. files) are created
outside of the base directory.
This makes it possible to have conditional sections like:
#if windows
$ echo foo
foo
#else
$ echo bar
bar
#endif
The directives and skipped sections are treated like comments, so don't
interleave them with commands and their output.
The parameters to #if are evaluated while preparing the test by passing them
over to hghave. Requirements can thus be negated with 'no-' prefix, and
multiple requirements must all be true to return true.
Globbing is usually used for filenames, so on windows it is reasonable and very
convenient that glob patterns accepts '\' or '/' when the pattern specifies
'/'.
The wiki page is intended to describe several solution to the requirement issue.
Some of those solutions does not involve upgrading mercurial. That is very
useful for people that can't easily upgrade they Mercurial in some place.
Before, you could experience the following strange interaction:
$ hg commit
nothing changed
$ hg merge
abort: outstanding uncommitted changes
which confused at least one user in #mercurial.
This improves the misleading error message
$ hg identify
abort: there is no Mercurial repository here (.hg not found)!
to the more explicit
$ hg identify
abort: requirement 'fake' not supported!
for all commands in commands.optionalrepo, which includes the identify
and serve commands in particular.
This is for the case when a new entry in .hg/requires will be defined
in a future Mercurial release.
Many tests fixed the commit date of their changesets at '1000000 0' or
similar. However testing with "Mon Jan 12 13:46:40 1970 +0000" is not
better than testing with "Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000", which is
the default run-tests.py installs.
Removing the unnecessary flag removes some clutter and will hopefully
make it clearer what the tests are really trying to test. Some tests
did not even change their output when the dates were changed, in which
case the -d flag was truly irrelevant.
Dates used in sequence (such as '0 0', '1 0', etc...) were left alone
since they may make the test easier to understand.
